Acceptance of the Heavens Begins with the Devil Fruit Tree
Chapter 28
Early in the morning, when the sun first appeared, it was the best time of the day, but at this moment, duomu village, an affiliated village under LVYE Town, was shrouded in a huge cloud.
"Old man, the little stone is gone."
In the largest yard of duomu village, logging leader Voss found old Enke, the head of duomu village, who was really smoking tobacco.
Hearing this, he looked up at worth with a double barrel shotgun, and old Enke took a hard puff of grass smoke.
"Is that the monster again?"
He lowered his head and spit out a big mouthful of smoke, which made people unable to see the expression of old Enke at this moment.
"It should be."
With that, Voss''s hands holding the shotgun were clenched and his veins were exposed.
Duomu village takes logging as its main business. As the leader of the logging team and the No. 2 person in duomu village, worth has encountered many dangers, such as being attacked by a hungry brown bear during logging, but he has never felt powerless like today.
Six days ago, an old sickle of a woodcutter in duomu village disappeared inexplicably. At first, it didn''t attract people''s attention. Until the next day, the villagers found it wrong and organized people to look for it.
The search for nature was fruitless, and in the process, three more villagers disappeared, and the atmosphere of panic began to spread in duomu village.
Under such circumstances, old Enke immediately gathered the villagers and asked Voss to lead the young people in the village to take up arms to protect everyone. No one disappeared on this day.
With the protection of the armed forces and the gathering of everyone, the hearts of the villagers began to calm down slowly, but the good times did not last long. On the third night, when everyone gathered together, two people disappeared, and the most important thing is that no one knows when and how they disappeared.
The seeds of fear began to take root and sprout, and the hearts of the villagers were unconsciously swallowed by the monster called panic. Many people''s reason was on the verge of collapse, that is, at this time, someone put forward the idea of leaving the village.
Some people support and oppose this idea, and many oppose it than support it. After all, this is their home and their comfortable nest. More importantly, leaving the village can not guarantee their safety and may be more dangerous.
Aware that the situation was wrong, old Enke stood up and calmed down everyone''s dispute.
Without leaving the village for the time being, everyone took weapons and could not act alone at any time. They handed over the only two young horses in the village to two young men and asked them to go to LVYE town for help.
On the fourth day, he sent two young men riding away. The villagers pinned their hopes on them. The day was safe, but none of the villagers dared to sleep at night.
On the fifth day, the weather was fine, and the villagers spent the day trembling, but fortunately, everything was safe, as if the monster had left.
On the sixth day, without waiting for the villagers to breathe a sigh of relief and fear to attack again, the small stone disappeared and was as restless as boiling water. The monster never went away.
"Old man, what should we do? The villagers are very upset and don''t know when the people in the town will come for help."
His own force is not reliable. Worth, a tall and powerful man, can only place his hope on the help of LVYE town at this moment.
He took a deep smoke and lowered his head. Old Enke didn''t speak or share his deep thoughts with worth.
Duomu town is far away from LVYE Town, but riding a horse for two days is enough, but today is the third day. LVYE town''s request for help still hasn''t come. If something doesn''t delay, the request for help hasn''t been sent to LVYE town at all, and the second possibility is much higher than the first one, because no one in the village was missing that day.
The heart is heavy, but old Enke can only bear it silently, because at this moment, duomu village has become a powder keg, and a spark can detonate it. Moreover, according to so many days of observation, old Enke guesses that the unknown monster is likely to regard the village as his granary and eat two or three people every day, no more or no less.
This conjecture may be a little cruel, but old Enke knows that it is likely to be true. As an old hunter, old Enke knows the psychology of those animals very well. It''s a pity that he can''t do anything even if he guesses the truth. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness, the sadness of the weak.
Although there may be a problem in asking for help, old Enke did not despair, because every once in a while, LVYE town would come to collect a batch of wood, and calculate the date. The most recent one is these days. At that time, LVYE town will find the abnormality here.
Of course, now all old Enke can do is pray silently. I hope this day will come early and a few people will die less.
"Alas!"
Looking at the figure of worth leaving, old Enke sighed deeply, and his body was more bent.
Watching the villagers die silently, hiding the facts from them and making them feel at ease to wait for death is a cruel way for old Enke, who grew up in the village, but he has to do so, because once the villagers know the truth and flee on a large scale, it is likely to provoke unknown monsters in the dark.
Stay at ease in the sheepfold and be regarded as the monster''s reserve food. Although there will be dead every day, the number is limited after all. Tear the sheepfold and unwilling to make reserve food. The monster is angry and is likely to hunt and punish on a large scale.
Hoo, once again took a hard puff of smoke. Old Enke silently told himself to be patient, to be patient.
Two days later, on the eighth day when duomu village was shrouded in clouds, iruka''s eyebrows were tightly frowned together in the government hall of LVYE town.
"You mean there''s no news?"
"Yes."
After glancing at iluka''s face, the clerk continued to say although he was uneasy:
"Your Excellency, the staff of the government affairs department responsible for collecting wood three days ago had set out for duomu village. It is reasonable that they should return the next day, but they haven''t come back so far."
Hu, take a deep breath and put down the feather pen in his hand. Iluka''s face sank.
As a pioneering land, LVYE town seems to be stable, but in fact it is in danger. Under such circumstances, civil servants have strict time planning for going out on business. Generally, it is impossible to violate it. Up to now, those people have not come back, and there may have been a problem.
After thinking for a while, he rubbed his eyebrows. Iluka took out a piece of special paper for decree, quickly wrote a decree and sealed it with his official seal.
"Take this to Sheriff Eros and ask him to send more people to duomu village."
Without any news or intelligence, iluka has neither full strength nor reason to let ferolier mobilize the army. He can only let ELOS send someone to see it. I just hope it is not troublesome.
